‘Favorite’ Songs and Contacts

You can now highlight songs or contacts as favorites in BBM Music 1.2! To favorite a song, you need to click on the star displayed in the top left hand corner while listening to a specific song.

You will now have the ability to search by “favorite” contacts within the contacts tab.
